Music reviews of Complete Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert 1938 [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] 2CD SET

Music Review: SUPERB REMASTERING OF MILESTONE JAZZ CONCERT
Rating: 4 Stars

Amongst celebrated dates which exist in popular music, 16th January 1938 denotes the day the Benny Goodman Orchestra played the rarified environs of New York's Carnegie Hall - previously designated as the dignified home of classical music. Initially conceived as a publicity stunt to enhance Goodman's increasing popularity, this was the very first time a jazz ensemble had ever played this venue and despite initial coolness towards the event, the sell-out performance left no doubt that swing dance bands provided the latest craze which could no longer be ignored.

Fortunately, the Concert was recorded but in comparison with today's technology the methods and equipment used at the time were relatively crude. The outcome was acceptable but the acetates were filed away and not rediscovered until 1950 when their transfer to vinyl resulted in a million-plus selling album-set. The back-up aluminium masters were also lost for decades but when located in 1998, they formed the basis for a CD set released by Sony the following year. Unfortunately the re-mastering failed to filter out numerous surface imperfections, clicks and hiss with the overall shrill sound lacking depth, much to the disappointment of many buyers who were quick at making their views known concerning such an outcome which could only be regarded as a botched job. Subsequently, other record companies released the Concert with attempts using ongoing developments in technology enabling a degree of improved sound. However, this new Jasmine release has succeeded in both cleanly removing annoying defects and managing to furnish an overall warmer sound without compromising the music, the excitement and ambiance of the occasion and venue.

It's now possible to enjoy interludes by Benny's trio and quartet as well as the full orchestra with the lengthy version of HONEYSUCKLE ROSE played as a jam session and starring such luminaries as Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Count Basie, Harry James and Johnny Hodges. That old Goodman favourite, AVALON brings vibraphonist Lionel Hampton to the fore and other stellar names involved include Ziggy Elman, Teddy Wilson and Bobby Hackett. Supplying necessary glamour, vocalist Martha Tilton, handles LOCH LOMOND and BEI MIR BIST DU SCHON with great style. Of course the highlight is SING, SING, SING, with Jess Stacey's spontaneous piano interlude equaled by typical star drumming from Gene Krupa with his tom-tom rhythms stirring up enthusiasm of the highest order. Carnegie Hall would henceforth open its doors and embrace performances by dance bands, jazz instrumentalists and popular vocalists. This finely-tuned re-mastered recording will ensure this event continues to be cherished as a jazz milestone.
